ABOUT THE DESINGER:

"Char was born Charlotte Blankenship in a small Colorado town to a lively creative family. She still has the doll clothes she and her two sisters stitched on their mother’s small Singer sewing machine. In 1968, after studying Art History at university and two years designing clothes for a boutique in California, Char ventured to Guadalajara with her husband Aurelio Vazquez. There, like in the storybook the Miller’s Daughter, she took a scrap of leather (instead of a wisp of straw) and turned it into gold.

One hand-painted leather handbag grew to become six stores in Mexico and a collection that debuted at the New York Boutique show in the early 70s…department store buyers saw the collection and Char’s painted bags became an overnight sensation.

Char then relocated to Santa Fe, NM with her young sons: Mark, Demian and Alex Vazquez. With the help of her parents and her sister Sherry Stein, also a designer, Char and Sher Designs was born featuring Southwest leather and suede clothing. Char and Sher’s men’s western shirt landed on the cover of GQ Magazine, sending their company and design to the forefront of the western clothing fashion craze of the 1980s."( https://www.chardesigns.com/our-story)
